Mr. Turabe Fazil, u r rite in one way...as u said, indian muslims are backward in all ways, may be in studies or in poverty. did u ever think why its happening? i will tell u...its because, you people give birth to 10 kids in 12years....how a person can manage every years expenses of a delivery? so, he will not send them school, but send to some known people who are mechanics, sabjiwaale, or road side business. so how u expect that litercy in musilim community will grow? look at other religions, they plan well and give birth to first kid, and take enuff gap and plan for second kid and so on...this way everything changes...think in positive....
